Peace activists also rallied outside the FBI building in Washington, D.C., Monday to protest the targeting of antiwar and Palestine solidarity activists as well as the imprisonment of alleged military whistleblower Bradley Manning. Kevin Zeese of the group Voters for Peace hailed Manning as a hero.

Kevin Zeese: “If we had real leadership in this country rather than holding Bradley Manning in confinement, solitary confinement, for the last five months, they would be standing with Bradley Manning and saying 'Bradley Manning is showing us what we're doing. We need to rejudge our policy, rethink our foreign policy. We need to move to become a country that obeys the law, not one that violates the law.’ Bradley Manning has provided the American people an opportunity to know what their country is doing.”
